We do these type of agreements with our commercial clients that have 100s of units, boilers, chillers, RTUs, etc. where reliability is important and there are a lot of moving parts. 

One thing that helped me when I started was getting super familiar with the local market and building a network of reliable folks (like other investors and contractors) who could make the process a lot smoother.Feel free to reach out if you have questions about investing in Michigan or want to compare notes.Best, Travis

When it comes down to it, let’s say that the child support income is less reliable than you initially thought, and you decide to evict a tenant and collect the balance due.

AND this is crazy important because--guessing, presuming, and assuming are not how you get to reliable numbers for a renovation. 

Once you find a reliable partner for these there should be no issues having that trust and expectation. 

Sellers view cash offers as more reliable, which often leads to a smoother transaction.

Have you managed to find reliable cleaners and contractors?

One thing is certain and that's a lack of reliable and quality housekeepers. 

Reliable local contacts, like property managers and contractors, can make or break an out-of-state investment.Happy to send some resources about the market if you want to reach out.Best,Travis
